Role Overview

  • As the Strategic Partnership Development Manager, you will be the driving force behind expanding our business ecosystem, unlocking new market opportunities, and accelerating growth through high impact external partnerships.
  • This is a dynamic, high visibility 'hunter' role designed for a master relationship builder who possesses a proven ability to independently self source deals and brings a robust, ready to leverage network of industry contacts to hit the ground running from day one.
  • Your primary mission is to autonomously identify, pitch, negotiate, and onboard key partners that align with our long term business objectives.

Responsibilities

  • Tap into your established network of industry executives, decision makers, and influencers to quickly open doors and introduce our value proposition.
  • Continually scout the wider market to uncover untapped opportunities, analyse industry trends, and map out new, high value potential partners beyond your current network.
  • Lead the end to end deal cycle, pitching to C suite executives and navigating complex commercial negotiations to secure mutually beneficial terms.
  • Lead the initial onboarding process by providing partners with the sales training, product expertise, and marketing collateral required to represent Qashio effectively in the field.
  • Facilitate collaborative workshops with new partners to identify 'low hanging fruit' and high value opportunities within their existing customer databases.
  • Partner internally with Product, Sales, and Marketing teams to ensure newly acquired partners are seamlessly integrated and set up for maximum ROI.
  • Establish Qashio as the 'top of mind' solution for new partners through consistent engagement and by demonstrating the immediate financial benefits of the partnership.
  • Drive partners toward their first revenue milestones, ensuring they are fully activated and self sufficient before transitioning them to the long term relationship management team.

Qualifications and Experience

  • 5+ years of experience in strategic partnerships or business development with a documented history of sourcing and closing high value deals.
  • Experience collaborating closely with internal product, legal, marketing, and sales teams to ensure alignment and smooth post sign onboarding
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills; comfortable and credible pitching directly to C suite and VP level executives.
  • Relationship management skills and a can do attitude when presented with challenges
  • Ability to look beyond immediate sales targets to see how a partnership creates long term ecosystem value and competitive advantage.
  • Ability to combine quantitative data (from your Excel models) with qualitative strategy to see how a partnership creates long term market advantage.
  • Demonstrated experience, exposure and interest in the FinTech space; preferably having worked directly with a FinTech company
  • A bachelor’s or postgraduate degree in business or related fields would be a plus
  • In depth understanding of FinTech software/platforms, and accounting and expense management systems would be a plus
